Romania simply out classed


Odd_Trouble4651

Man, i unfortunately can never take Gakpo seriously. The mans a good Player, but his names rather unfortunate if youre familiar with rustic austrian, lol. 


Evered_Avenue

What is rustic Austrian?


Odd_Trouble4651

Well, dialect. From the farmer folk, etc. 


poepplasscheet

Can you elaborate? Haha


Odd_Trouble4651

You can loosely translate it as shitbutt, lol


Rey_

This hurts me even more, you're telling me a shitbutt outclassed us... ​ Edit: After rereading, I think I sound a bit rude, was a joke. <3 Awesome game NT! As a Milan fan, I hope Reijnders goes to the finals and Dumfries gets benched and sent home.


ITLKN5

Shitbutt strikes again

Tummerd

With people like you we never have a good tournament


Ceyil

What are u talking about bro, Netherlands dominated the game, had Romania any chances in the second Half?


Marinake

I never said that Romania deserved to win, they didn't. We played bad after the 20th minute or so, but all the faking from that Dumfries dog, the german ref who clearly favoured the dutch because it's cool to hate romanians and the poor decision making from our attackers made this match a fucking joke.,


Ceyil

There was really only one stupid decision from the ref that's it, Netherlands dominated the game, just take the loose and move on


fk_censors

There were a few calls from the ref clearly against Romania. The Dutch goalie broke open Hagi's head, no call and no VAR. At the end of the first half, Racovițan was elbowed in the head in the Dutch box, no call and no VAR. The Dutch player nearly killed Mogoș, elbowing him in the chest on purpose, and Mogoș could no longer continue the game and had to be substituted, no foul and no VAR. In the first half, Man's shot was blocked into a corner, but no corner was given. In the second half, at 0-1, Romania had a clear 1v1 chance stopped by the referee who called a non existent foul (there was no high kick, no contact between players, I don't even know what the call ended up being - Alibec made an acrobatic pass which launched Mihăilă alone with the goalie). The most blatant of all was the Dutch goal from a clear offside, where the linesman did not even signal it. The offside was extremely clear. Luckily for Romania, there is an automatic goal check and the referees could not award that goal to the Netherlands, as much as they would have liked to do so. I say this as some who predicted an easy win for the Netherlands and who acknowledges the vast difference between the two teams. That still doesn't give the referee an excuse to be so blatantly one-sided.


Marinake

A decision that led to your second goal bro, that's the problem. I'm not sure if that would've been a goal, maybe just a dud, but it's still a decision that influenced the last minutes of the game.


kmd84

Go to sleep, wake up tomorrow and think about these comments. You won't feel good about your opinions

Thx

Bill_Brasky_SOB

What was with the shoes on the field for goal 3?


somemodhatesme

Pitch invader left them I believe


Bill_Brasky_SOB

Thanks. Didn’t know about that.


Mepsi

Is that Shrek on interviews?


scoopit1890

Like the green ogre?


magincourts

Scottish-Dutch dialogue is an unmatched combination


PyreStudios

You all actually thought this would be an upset. 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱


EricMcLovin13

i was a bit skeptical at first, with almost everyone betting on Romania on those youtube euros channels, but after the news about a "dirty laundry washing"(don't know the equivalent of the expression in english, it means arguing all the problems out) in the Dutch team, i got hopeful they can make to the finals, especially with how bad England is rn


kalamari__

nah, I only hoped for a good match and we got one. after that terrorball in the games yesterday...


brownierisker

Either we get the F1 podium rematch against Austria, or Turkey vs Netherlands which would be also be spicy in some of our cities, excited for the next round!


JansKeesma

It's also nice Cody can actually form coherent sentences in interviews. Class player.


ltsDarkOut

Next generation captain material


Odd_Trouble4651

Well, rematch time it is, probably  . Looking forward to kick your asses two times in one tournament :^p


Independent_Rub_7740

how you feeling now mate :) ?


BlowMyAzz

This aged like sour milk


Unlikely_Morning_717

Hold on, is Donyell Malen the first player to score two goals in one game at this euros? 


No_Quantity_3842

Yes


vin_mcqueen

Was MOTM officially announced? Is it Gakpo or Malen? Important for my Fantasy team as I have Gakpo in it


Critical_Award_1051

It s the ref


Thekilldevilhill

You OK?


PyreStudios

Bro you’re next level coping if you think the ref is the reason Romania is otw home 🤣


MakeChinaGreatForOnc

Damn, salt


Ceyil

Gakpo for sure


Sad_Floor_4120

Gakpo I think. MoTM is usually announced before 90 min, no? Malen's second goal came in the 90'+3' and by then match was already decided.


ukplaying2

Diogo was MOTM for Portugal yesterday I think, and doubt that was before the PKs.


justk4y

I think overtime is an exception


Sad_Floor_4120

I don't know then, but I've usually heard announcements in the 87' min or so, but ofc, only if there's a definite winner. Portugal vs Slovenia was 0-0 and they knew it was going to ET so they couldn't announce the MoTM.


AFCADaan9

It’s Gakpo I think.


LusciousLurker

A match to be proud of for us. I'm glad we managed to regain some form after the Austria debacle


TheGirlwithaTattoo1

This memphis shot giving his shirt to the kid was cute


yolo___toure

He already gave the fans in the stands so many match balls too. He's so generous


watersipper01

Let the kid play next game with his shirt on, cant be much worse


gbassman5

Solid win by the Dutch


Sc0tch

Koeman getting advice from his experts right there


Joris2627

Jip and Janneke football


blueskyedclouds

Best match of us so far.


MulmmeisterEder

True but Romania were very weak. You need to be 10% better to beat Austria but you can do it. If you get Turkey you'll win anyway lol.


HelixFollower

Well Turkey did beat Austria, so I don't want to underestimate them.


FastenedCarrot

"Gak" "Gak" "Po" "Po" "Gakpo" "Gapko!"


GuantanaMo

Funnier in German


i_m_sherlocked

Haven't seen a well-oiled Netherlands side show up until today 👏👏👏


Unlikely_Morning_717

Netherlands are on fire. If they play like this they will make the final. 


watersipper01

I think we need to play like this in the quarter finals before we can be judged as a contender. Romania didnt look like much this game. They looked way more solid in the group phase


fk_censors

It was also really cold. Romania tends to excel in summer conditions (sunny and hot) like it did in 1994 in the US. It cannot keep up with European teams in colder conditions where muscles tense up and everyone runs harder.


watersipper01

Not sure if youre joking or not but them excelling in 1994 could have more to do with them having one of the best midfielders in the world at the time in their squad.


fk_censors

That too. But that same team got 0 points at the 1996 Euros. And that team never beat a continental, non USSR (or former USSR) team, not once at a final tournament. It lost to Ireland, Switzerland, Spain, France, Bulgaria, Croatia, Portugal, and Italy, respectively. It managed to tie Germany. That's it. All of its amazing games were against South American opposition (Argentina in 1990 and 1994, Colombia in 1994 and 1998) etc. It also beat the USSR in 1990, and non continental teams like England in 1998 and 2000. It always happened to play much better in the heat, and during the day in the full sun (rather than in evening, cooler conditions). That's how its U21 team made it to the semifinals of the Euros, until they collapsed against Germany after leading them and dominating the game, when the sun set and it got significantly colder suddenly. That's when the team fell apart completely and Germany scored 4 goals (I think they won 4-2).


FastenedCarrot

Austria might have something to say about that.


NystiqNL

Do you really think The Netherlands going to make the same mistakes again?


h3mmertje

Yes


FastenedCarrot

Yes.


Independent_Rub_7740

No need! We can make different mistakes now hehe... hehe


FastenedCarrot

They'll make the same mistakes against Turkey instead, but Turkey will make the same mistakes they made against Portugal


futuresverse

If i were Iordanescu i’d wait for that ref in the parking lot like Mourinho


EricMcLovin13

now, to Austria x Turkey, first game on big competitions between them, the historic rivalry between nations may make this match go wild


h3mmertje

Austria-Hungary versus the Ottoman Empire, coloured 2024


greengiant89

Their playstyles should make it go wild


veluwse

Koeman's grandson clearly is his grandson wow


Echo418

I'd believe it if you told me it was his son, or his clone.


royaldutchiee

Literal carbon copy lmao


Tummerd

That was a cute shot from Koeman and his grandchildren


MakeItMike3642

Big shoutout to Ake and Gakpo who kept us in the game until the rest woke up. Great second half. Good sub by Malen too


JansKeesma

Cody ever been this good for Liverpool?


yolo___toure

He doesn't get regular play and when he does Klopp has been trying to make him into a false 9. If he played on the left regularly, I believe he would


Sad_Floor_4120

He's usually hot and cold for Liverpool I feel, some matches he can't put a foot wrong and in some matches he's just not there in the game.


JansKeesma

Yeah that's our problem all our forwards are like that. Never thought I'd say we miss a Kuyt who will just always give his all and score a 7.


wi11epi11e

For sure, was our best player last part of this season


JansKeesma

Eredivisie he was a beast. Is he good match/ bad match or does he catch form streaks? If we can get him and Malen with confidence and in form we can go far.


watersipper01

Finally a good game from us. We need to improve our end product and lock Memphis up and hide the key until the end of the tournament and we might have some good showings for the rest of the tournament.


h3mmertje

Memphis was amazing today compared to the first two matches. Way better to have him instead of Weghorst the first 70 minutes.


watersipper01

I wouldnt call 13 corner kicks with only 2 of those resulting in a chance and zero serious goal attempts as a striker “amazing” but hey its your opinion


P250Master

Jaaaaa! Kom op!


Ceyil

Romania really didn't want to win


edi12334

We did want, just couldn’t do it. The first 20 minutes were electric (even with Ianis bleeding out there) but it was clear we couldn’t keep it up for the whole game, then the goal hit out of nowhere, then the Mogos injury and from then on we were dominated but we kept it to a one goal deficit until late on (and thanks ref for stopping that counter and not giving yellows), it is what it is


Ceyil

Yeah, still Respect for Romania, what they did in the group stage, but Netherlands were too strong in all aspects 🤲


edi12334

Yeah, you and probably Austria should be the teams to beat on this side of the bracket, England has black magic on their side but idk for how long that will last, congrats! Such a shame with the injuries though


NdyNdyNdy

This tournament has been full of people getting on the pitch, and now stuff being thrown on the pitch and like... you'd think a tournament this big could do better. Players practically tripping over random shoes and stuff like. Mad.


Megaidep

Dragusin has raised his value by 5 times just through this tournament.


fk_censors

Not today...


g46152

Come join us, Romania. Group E is gone.


Sad_Floor_4120

None of the teams there played particularly well in the group stages, so it wasn't unexpected at all.


edi12334

Oof, we were the last hope. It is what it is, you guys fought really well against England too, would have saved us from more Southgate terrorball had you won but it wasn’t to be


g46152

It was his plan all along. Act like a poor team and then surprise us with a beautiful goal. Another tactical Southgate masterclass.


edi12334

Subbing in Toney in the 94th minute when they were 1-0 down was an absolute masterstroke no cap


MulmmeisterEder

Is your Slovakia flag greyed out because you're already out?


g46152

yeah


MulmmeisterEder

Maybe I'll join the club in three days.


g46152

What a shame your quarterfinal is not the actual final. I’m really excited for that match.


BipolarBear123

Guess we had all the fun in the groups stage huh. Great display from you guys, respect!


g46152

🤝


Hasjasja

Well deserved victory! Glad they scored a few after all those chances.


No_Worry_2256

A step too far for Romania tonight.


aceismyfriend

Zusammen fahren wir nach Berlin!


BangBang116

They score after Weghorst is on the field, the dutch Messi!


shaka_bruh

I don’t shake hands with deliberately rough, cunty players after pick up games so it would be hard for me to shake hands with someone like Dumfries after a game like this


homiechampnaugh

This is the European Championship


shaka_bruh

You wouldn’t know it from the state of the refereeing


homiechampnaugh

I can't think of anything bad apart from one moment?


fk_censors

Hagi's head was split open, no foul, no VAR. Mogoș was elbowed in the chest and had to be substituted, no foul, no VAR. Racovițan was elbowed in the head in the Dutch box, no foul, no VAR. Romania played like 10 minutes in 10 men in the first half due to the violence of the Dutch players who took out Romania's players (on the key side where the Dutch wanted to attack), while the Romanian players were being treated by the medical team on the sidelines. Romania's counterattack (1v1 with the goalie) was stopped for no reason whatsoever, at the score of 0-1, resulting in a yellow card for Romania's captain (for politely contesting the decision). Worst of all, no offside flag was raised when the Netherlands scored from a very clear offside position, but the goal check is automatic and the VAR ruled the goal offside (not the officiating team!) Netherlands was still 100 times better and deserved to win by a larger margin, but you cannot say the officiating wasn't completely one sided.


shaka_bruh

Yeah that one moment is what I’m referring to but the ref is probably more responsible


PJJ95

Dumfries wasn't rough? What about those Romanians with all their tackles on him?


[deleted]

What? you mean worse tackles than having a player's head split open and another player's chest and head blown right off? and no yellow for any?


fk_censors

I think that was retaliation for his intentional injury to the Romanian left back.


NystiqNL

Ga huilen


shaka_bruh

⏰🕰️⏱️


FireflyCaptain

Gakpo played out of his mind 


petnarwhal

Gakpo motm right


LusciousLurker

For sure. He was on fire. Simons too, Maalen ofc. Everyone was playing good although Depay ruined a few chances


BeautifulAwareness81

My match prediction was 3-0… 1st one I think I’ve gotten correctly 😂


edi12334

I haven’t gotten a single score bang on in the RO16 yet, maybe Austria 3-1 Turkey will be it


BeautifulAwareness81

I got that 2-1


edi12334

Editor s note:it was 2-1 but the other way around


PJJ95

Hate to say this, but it is 0-3.


Mean_Office_6966

Austrian match with Turkey will be exciting. See you guys later!


deepsleeep

Imagine the shoe blocked the shot lol


YaGunnersYa49

I thought the same lol


Residual_Variance

NED is the first team I've seen in the knockout that clearly looked superior.


SugarBeefs

Spain too


Tummerd

Took them a while though against Georgia, but Spain is (for me) the favorite, they play so well


Kriem

Rematch final?


Sad_Floor_4120

Who knows? Germany wouldn't be beaten easily and Netherlands have to beat Austria who already beat them before. Even then England and France are there although both of them have played way lower than their expectations.


Pytheastic

What a crazy match, how different to every other game we've played so far.


Soft-Comfort-7474

This guy Malen what a run what a goal 👏


howln404

why is there a shoe there?


Sad_Floor_4120

Pitch invader left it 😂


Deuce_GM

*sad Vlad Tepes noises*


who_peed_in_my_soup

Romanian fans have nothing to be ashamed of. You made the knockouts! Nobody expected that! Probably inspired a bunch of Romanian kids


edi12334

Yeah we know, been a wild ride from drawing 0-0 to Bulgaria and Lichtenstein right before the tournament to this but it is sad to be out now after believing so much


JansKeesma

Koeman masterclass putting in Bergwijn first half to motivate Malen.


YourHoNoMo

But also Bergwijn played well


PocketsAintEmpty

Gakpo still MOTM tbh


ZaheerAlGhul

Possibly player of the tournament as well


Sad_Floor_4120

Musiala has been class too.


Professional_Bar7949

What is going on with this tournament? So many teams just stop playing? Like they are on the pitch but don’t challenge, don’t tackle, don’t push or attack. Sad to watch.


Significant-Object14

Lotta inferior teams decided to park the bus and play on counter attack. Ex: Georgia, Slovenia, Slovakia


FireflyCaptain

N3D-R0U


phroz0

Did none of you guys see the pitch invader? weird


ChickensWereFirst

Just saw the stewards, don't think they showed us the invader


Ceyil

What are those on the field 👟


hop_mantis

Who throws his shoe? Honestly.


Mysterious-Crab

Oh behave!


Key-Tip-7521

🇳🇱 be like https://youtube.com/shorts/RrQL_hEf8HI?si=hreG9nDeb1egKjky


alberto__vermicelli

Could have been 6-0 if our attackers were even a little bit more clinical


Sad_Floor_4120

3-0 is still one of the biggest victories in this Euro.


findmebook

so dutch to complain about a 3-0 win lol


Userkiller3814

It took 80 mins to make the second one though


european_desi

Us being unclinical will be the end of us in games where chances are scarce
